[STOP WE HAVE TO COMFORT THRONE FOR A SECOND!!!!

Also hehe. He will lean down and accept this kiss even if it makes him extremely shy when she does it! HE'S THIRTY, BUT IS ACTING LIKE A LITTLE SCHOOL BOY GETTING A KISS FROM THE HOT TEACHER!!!]


Good.

[It's her turn, without fanfare or warning.

She's in a cave built into a work room. Sparse and earthy, infected by industry. Piping, work tables, tools, and a giant tubular device full of strange liquid and a creature, almost completely dead, inert, submerged into it.

Throne can see her reflection looking back at her through the pod's glass, but it's the reflection of a familiar man who has slept only a few hours between several days, a man who aches, whose lungs are tight, who is withering away and desperate for life.

Behind her, is a man she knows from her childhood she has run to when all other options had been expended, a man she knows can probably help her even though his methods are the purist form of cut-and-dry research, detached from ethics.

He gives her an option to accept, handing it out to her in a little vial full of purple liquid. Shimmer. A variant. She thinks Jayce would understand, having wanted to help him so badly.

There is a price to pay for progress. Will she pay it?]
